High prolactin in blood tests, also I think theyāre making my negative symptoms worse but not sure.
Thatās not too bad. I am glad you tolerate it as well as you do.

Yes I am.
I wasnāt talking about you.
This happened to me.
Oh wow. Thatās crazy. I am so sorry to hear that. I am glad youāre more stable now. I got a shot of Invega at the hospital and it REALLY helped with my delusion but not until I got out. I was delusional the whole time I was in there.

LOL, I didnāt go dancing but I did start my stuff sometimes haha. It was a very manic experience for me as well
Yeah, I was originally diagnosed with bipolar but when I explained I was dancing against my will and was under brain control (I didnāt want to be dancing!), they changed it to SZ, then they realized I donāt have a lot of SZ symptoms and eventually called it ādelusional disorderā. All my episodes have been centered around this one delusion.

Itās common to want proof that are delusions are true. We want our delusions validated. All that happened is you went in and got two free drinks. Iām not judging or putting you down because I have my own delusions. But youāre using something as innocuous as two free drinks to validate your own little world of delusions. You scored five bucks worth of free drinks and now you believe this whole Truman show world view.
Iām paranoid as hell and think everybody is against me and looking at me and singling me out to mistreat. Using your logic I can look at the fact that two different guys cut me off in traffic yesterday and say āSee, everybody is against meā.
Two free drinks is nothing. If you got ten free drinks in one day or if you walked into random cafes every day and got a free drink I might say,āWhoa, something weird is going on hereā. But two free drinks donāt convince me of your delusions. Because you recognize they are delusions yourself.

To be fair, I had many more things happen beyond the 2 free drinks (which, to me, is still weird), I just didnāt go into all of it. Butā¦I get your point. We all have our own validation that our delusions are real. I admit, I still think there is a possibility that I am in a brain study but I am not acting out or winding up in the hospital over it and for the first time, I WANT to take my Risperdal to avoid the hospital. It sits on a back burner. All the validation that took place lives in my memory because it didnāt continue. I donāt get validating experiences anymore.

Hi, @non-average!! Welcome back to the forum!
I read part of your post but skimmed most of it, because I canāt handle reading about delusions lately. Iāve been paranoid about cameras constantly watching meā¦ for monthsā¦ and reading about other peopleās delusions fuels my delusional thinking. 
I hope you can get some relief from your delusions, though. Delusions are terrible.
Anyway, welcome back and I hope you have a great time on sz(dot)com!

I had the exact same experience, and a voice telling me what to look at so she could see what she wanted to see.

The more I read about other peopleās similar delusions, the more I think maybe it is just a delusion. Itās hard to let it go because there are some benevolent aspects to my delusion like for one; that I am going to get paid for being in the brain study. Wouldnāt that be nice? I know. I know. Donāt feed it. Let it go.
